[Egyptian] Hieratic dot

[Mark-Jan Nederhof]

My 2 cents: if domain experts are willing to write such a comprehensive document, detailing not only the relevant
glyphs but also an accurate characterization of typical use of the signs, including recommendations when to use
one sign rather than another, based on the experts' understanding of the writing system, then it seems self-evident 
to me this is preferable over anything else.

Couldn’t we envision to deal with several of them at the same time and to prepare a more comprehensive document about the hieratic signs in hieroglyphic transcriptions in general? Or is it wiser to include one after another?
